Problem installing 19.1.2 onto a BHYVE FreeNAS 11.2U2 VM

Hello,
I'm a total newbie.
I'm using the ISO DVD install image.
When I login with usrename "installer", the procedure stops at "Select Task" window.
Even a Ctrl+C and subsequent login won't go past the above window.
Even changing default font with other (vgarom) gave me results, the progress bar command window "/usr/sbin/vidcontrol -f ...." is stuck at 0%.
For curiosity's sake, I ran a pfSense 2.4.4 installation (DVD ISO based, too) in the same FreeNAS machine and same VM environment (1 CPU, 1024 MB RAM, AHCI disk), that took place with no problem.
Can anyone guide me to solve my problem?
I tried both firewalls on a couple of VMware machines, and I really prefer OPNsense over pfSense.
Thanks a lot,
Leo.

You'll need to have FreeNAS pass the -w option to bhyve. I don't run FreeNAS, so you'll need to consult FreeNAS's documentation to see how to do that (I don't know if they even have that documented).
